So what exactly is the three-month rule anyway?

Three-Month Rule: After a Break-Up

This one was introduced and oriented to me by my friends.

Basically, after a break-up, the three-month rule is a rule that says you and your ex are both given 3 months before entering the dating scene again. Just waiting it out, and mourning that your relationship ended. Just go on with your individual separate lives and see what happens. To some this may be just a short period of time, while it may mean otherwise to others. In any case, after the third month, if you BOTH find that you’re still in love with your exes, then you might consider trying to work it out again. If only one of you feels something and the other doesn’t, then it may no longer be worth a shot for a second chance. In addition, if you’re certain that you no longer feel anything towards your ex partner, then it’s the accepted time that you’re allowed to date again. Having this rule is more or less about mutual respect, and about the healing process for both parties. It’s a safe approach in ending a relationship I guess and to avoid that horrible feeling, for example you saw your boyfriend or girlfriend dating already the next day after a 5-year relationship. Because let’s face it, seeing your past love date someone after a few days or weeks from your break-up tears you into a million pieces.

So there. The first type of the Three-Month Rule.

Now, on to the next one.

Three-Month Rule: During Dating

Suppose you are dating someone right now, but you’ve only known the person recently. This three-month rule is to slap you from the mirage you might be experiencing. First impressions honestly, barely last. In reality, when you are attracted to someone whether physically, emotionally or whatsoever, your mind is being deceived that everything that the person does is cute, and you actually see them as the person you want them to be. So the three months is just an ample amount of time for you to see the person and yourself impartially. Is he/she is really that nice? What less desirable traits does he/she have? Do I really like this person? Are we compatible? Is sex all he/she’s after? Would I want this person to be a part of my life for months and years to come? Of course getting to know the person longer is ideal, but three months is just the right time to get you pass the honeymoon stage. When after all is said and done after those three months, it’s up to you on whether or not you want to continue entertaining the person or put a period on it early on.

How old do you have to be to say the F word?

Although there's no hard-lines or consensus on a certain age, the general recommendation will be: Never use the f-word if you are under the age of 13. Strongly avoid using the word if you are under the age of 18.

The F-word and its usage is a very controversial topic. Nevertheless, the word does exist. It is also being used everyday by people from diverse age groups and social backgrounds. The f-word can be a very hurtful, offensive, mean, and/or vulgar word. However, in adults' conversations and certain situations, it can serve as a comic relief, a colorful method of expressing frustration, surprise, astonishment and friendly-exclamation amongst many other things. This article will try to outline usages of the f-word that are more generally accepted by the modern society. Take into consideration however that: This article is targeted towards adults. The article does not in any way encourage the use of the word. On the contrary, it is trying to limit its usage into very specific situations that might arise in closed, friendly social circuits where the use of the word will be more accepted. Most importantly, where the use of the word will not be considered offensive (most of the time). The article is not child-friendly, but to be safe, will not use the full spelling of the word. Instead, F will be used instead of the word in examples, and F-ing, F-ed will be used instead of the word in examples to denote the various tenses.
